CONSORT PICKED BY ROYALTY Somewhat Summary Method of Mating as It Is Done In the Kingdom of Slam. Kings of Slnm apparently do not bo Hovo In tho wisdom of allowing singlo women to drift unattnehed about tho country. In certain districts nftor a girl has reached an ago whero her se curing for herself a husband Is con sidered doubtful, she becomes a "daughter of tho king." That Is, tho king takes upon himself tho task of settling her suitably In life. His process Is quite simple, and to tho point. Ho proceeds to the Sla ineso penitentiary and looks over the various prisoners. There Is a law In Slam that any prisoner can obtain his release by marrying one of this class of girls, nnd, naturally enough, any plsoncr whom tho king picks out Is not likely to bo backwnrd about con senting to tho ceremony. Nor does it mako any difference If ho is married, for tho men of that country are not restricted to ouo wife. Ab far as can bo learned, thrre is np allowanco mado for the inclination of tho girl In question. She has failed In her mission in llfo as far as sho herself Is concerned, and she must abide by tho decision of tho king. Cream Corn Soup. Heat a quart of milk In a mush boll cr, as milk scorches easily; press a small can of corn through a strainer to removo hulls. If tho corn does not go through tho strainer well, pour the milk into it; this will help to secure the pulp of tho corn. Add a lump of buttor tho slzo of & walnut and pep per and salt to suit the taste. Beat tho white of ono egg to a stiff froth and ctld Into the soup lightly a few minutes before serving. w-'s"' sm?:"- bbbH V xS BJBBB-1 s BBflBHl 5y "vVUbcv BBBBpBT BBH"olP ' .BBBBH HFj -- JaiBflHHiBHH IbbHT ' "'JbHehbHHSbI WmuJf "" HBHEwSHW , -f - jhiok HHBW " .bbbbbbHIbbbbbIt bBbB " .bbbIbbIB T K JK 4flBT iZ "7" fttOMINrNTlO r-MM- HUERTA INTENSELY PRO-AMERICAN .WBBBP' BBBBbH bKbHBBMHf tflBBBBBH fJJJJjr't BJbbbBbBbBW .bbVbBbBbBbBbBbBbBb BKfflQ BbIBIBIBIBIBIbH he remained on duty ns n staff ofllcor until March, 1912, Then Gonoral Huerta was placed In command of tho division of tho north.
